Manuscripts

Vermejo Ranch Library, includes Chandler Family correspondence

Description

Approx. 15 items: letters and inventory lists of book titles. It seems the Vermejo Ranch library's titles were either temporarily or permanently taken (it is not clear here) by the families of Norman Chandler, Philip Chandler, May Chandler Goodan, John J. Garland (related to William Garland (?) the man who, two years earlier complained of being "duped and defrauded" as a member of Vermejo Club. There is one handwritten note in this folder (in plastic sleeve) which reads "Lists of books stored in homes of Chandler children for Southwest Land Co.," which would indicate that these volumes, which would make impressive "wallpaper" in the homes of the well-to-do were to be left with these individuals for an unspecified period--perhaps years.
